Copyright © Lexibook 2004 1

Congratulations on your purchase of this weather station, MeteoClock SM1400. Please take the time to readand understand this manual so you can begin to enjoy the convenience and features this product has to offer.

What exactly is a Weather Station?Lexibook digital stations measure not only the time in progress - thanks to their built-in clock - but also the actualweather!

The MeteoClock SM1400 incorporates different functions:- Thermometer:

Temperature is displayed in real time to the nearest tenth of a degree Celsius. Thanks to its wireless sensor,the station can sense from a distance the outside temperature or that of another room!

- Hygrometer: Outdoor or indoor hygrometry is expressed in percentage of humidity in the ambient air. The ideal “Comfort”Zone for the human body ranges from 35 to 65% hygrometry for a given temperature in between 18 and 24ºC.

- Barometer:The station measures the atmospheric pressure, and as this keeps evolving, it displays a weather forecastby means of icons: Sun, rain, etc… the weather expected to be in the next 8 to 12 hours!

GETTING STARTED



SYNCHRONIZATION

Automatic Learn Function

Learn function executes automatically and runs for approximately 3 minutes when batteries are

first installed in the receiver.

Within these 3 minutes, receiver picks up the temperature & humidity signals from remote

sensor and displays the readings.

Manual-Learn (Searching for Remote Signals)

If a new remote sensor is added or if signal is lost (outdoor display blinking), learn function must be

executed again.

Press and hold CHN for 3 seconds to start.

Beep sound indicates that learn function has started.

'Channel' symbol will flash and unit will beep as each remote

sensor is detected.

Temperature & humidity readings of remote sensor displays on the

receiver.

Auto/Manual Learn will not operate while the radio controlled clock is receiving DCF77 signals.

SETUP


RADIO CONTROL CLOCK

The SM1400 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock

once it is brought within range of 1500km of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio

signal.

When the SM1400 is within this range, its radio-control mechanism will

override all manual settings.

When receiving radio signal, the Radio Tower symbol starts to blink. A

complete reception generally takes several minutes, depending on the strength of the radio

signal.

When the reception is complete, the Radio Tower symbol will stop blinking and remain solid.

For better reception, place the clock away from metal objects and electrical appliances

(i.e. television, computer, monitor, etc.) to minimize interference.

Animated weather forecast symbolsThis weather station is capable of detecting barometric pressure changes, and based on the datacollected, can predict the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours. The effective range covers an area of30 – 50km.

Storm Alert* Storm symbol will flash to warn of thunderstorm.* It is activated when pressure falls/rises and temperature plunges.

About Snow Freeze Warning* Snow symbol will flash to warn of 'snowing'.* Activated when Channel 1's temperature is between -1.9 °C and +2.9 °C.* Snow will appear solid if and when Channel 1's temperature falls below -1.9 °C: it is freezing.

Note:* Remote sensor Channel 1 will be used for weather indication.

WEATHER DISPLAY


REMARKS:

* After setting up, reading for weather forecasts should be discarded for the next 12-24 hours. Thiswill allow sufficient time for the Weather Station to operate at a constant altitude and thereforeresult in a more accurate forecast.

* Common to weather forecasting, absolute accuracy cannot be guaranteed.The weather forecasting feature is estimated to have an accuracy level of about 75% due to thevarying areas the Weather Station has been designed for use in.

* If the Weather Station is moved to another location significantly higher or lower than its initialstanding point (e.g from ground floor to 1st floor of a house), remove the batteries and reinsertthem after about 30 seconds. By doing this, the Weather Station will not make mistake of newlocation being a possible change in air pressure. Again, discard the weather forecasts for the next12-24 hours as this allow time for operation at a constant altitude.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Solution :

Place the clock away from metal objects or electricalappliances such as TVs, computers,monitors, etc.

Wait for about 1-2 minute to ensure the remotesensor and receiver are in phase. Otherwise, re-synchronize receiver by holding CHN for 3seconds until a beep is heard.

Ensure the remote sensor is out of direct sunlight,and away from sources of heat.

Repeat the learning procedures.- Temperature may be below -30°C.- Batteries in remote sensor may need

changing.- Move remote sensor closer to the receiver.- Make sure remote sensor is away from

sources of electrical disturbance.

Problem:

Cannot receive radio control DCF-77signals to update the clock.

The temperature measurement ofremote sensor and receiver does notmatch.

Temperature reading of outdoorremote sensor seems to high.

Receiver is no longer receivingremote sensor signals or display.


Additional sensor :Mesure temperature and hygrometry in other places!
